Magnetic North

Following a very successful event in Inverness Karen Darke continues her tour of the network with a visit to Dundee on September 11th.

Karen’s  aim for these events is to share information, stories and practical tips that might help you overcome challenges. Some are in relation to disability, but others will interest any of you who want to live life to the full, or ignite your adventurous spirit.

A traumatic fall from a Scottish Sea Cliff at the age of 21 changed the course of her life forever as it left her paralysed from the neck down. She had to challenge her own physical and mental barriers, completing many trips that others, including herself, believed impossible; from marathons and triathlons, to kayaking, sit-skiing and hand-cycling in some of the most inhospitable places on the planet.

”Modest and thoughtful, Karen is a highly sought after and successful speaker, whose stories inspire all those who take time to reflect on what it took to achieve them.”

How do we overcome challenges? Why is it that some of us are fortunate enough to fall down, pick ourselves up, brush off the dust and go again, whilst others let it stop them? Through her personal experiences, adventures and some ongoing research with others who have tackled great challenge, she enjoys sharing some understanding as to how we can learn from the difficult stuff, and use it to do the positive stuff. How we turn things around, no matter how difficult or seemingly impossible they may seem.

Book on line now to be sure of a place on this not to miss event!
